111 PARIS DISTRUST OP PRINCB NAPOLEON
OXNEBAI) SHERIDAN NOT TO BE ALLOWED TO
FOLLOW THE ARMY.
Paris, July 29. The Journal Officiel this
morning contains the following report from
the Ministers of War and the interior to tne
Emperor: "The government has authorized
the organization of local national guards in
frontier towns of the north and east, but the
government thinks it necessary to renounce
the idea of the organization of a general na
tional guard. Meanwhile the government
believes that companies of French sharp
shooters, established more extensively than
at present, will constitute a valuable reserve
for the protection of national territory. The
two ministers propose that the engagement
of these companies of French sharpshooters
shall be limited to the actual term of the war,
and that volunteers admitted into these bodies
shall be specially charged with the local de
fense." The Emperor approves of these corps
destined to replace the national local guard.
At Metz, to-day, several newspaper corres-
Eondents, most of them American and Eng
sh, were arrested as spies. They were libe
rated, however, but warned to keep away
from the army in future.
It is said that the return of General Le
Brun from the frontier hastened the depar
ture of the Emperor. Prince Napoleon la on
the Empercr's staff.
Large bodies of French troops are moving
to the northeast from Metz. It is said Gene
ral Trochu is to lead a corps into South Ger
many. It is thought that the Prussians will
decline battle until the French cross the
Rhine. They are concentrating heavy masses
fcf troops near Coblentz.
The French army will pay in gold for
everything tbey take in tke enemy's country.
1 he Prussian Government has suppressed a
large number of journals.
Pa bis. July 29 Evening. The following
official reports from the army are published:
The Prukbian troops are making onerous
requisitions on the country they occupy
Tbev take horses of the farmers, cut down
trees and trample standing crops. Daring a
thunder storm the headquarters of Division
General Lorenooz was struck by lightning
and three officers were in j urea. All pris
oners so far taken have been sent to Orleans,
, where accommodations have been provided.
Met, July J9. Great excitement - prevail
here. There is little doubt that the main
body will strifee through Rhenish Bavaria, aud
an advance of the Prussians on the left is ex
pected, f- ' r ...,,.. '
London, July 29. Count Albert de Bern
Btorff, Prussian ambassador to England, to
day makes public a statement that Franoe, in
18UG, offered to lend Prussia 300,000 men to
use against Austria, if Prussia would surren
der to France the territory between the Rhine '
and Moselle. The rejection of this proposi
tion on the part of Prussia awoke the Empe
ror's sympathy with Austria. These offers,
which Napoleon now finds it convenient to re
pudiate, have been repeated Blnoe 18!tf.
Paris, July 29. It is reported that General
Sheridan is coming from America. He will
be refused leave to accompany the army.
The American feeling here has been misre-
u-esented. No French journal dares to repub
inh daily news telegrams describing the gene
ral sympathy of Americans with Prnssians.
It is reported that Prinoe Napoleon was
obb'ged to accompany the Emperor as a pre
caution against his possible disloyalty in
case of defeat.
An independent oommand has been denied
him. General Lelxcnf positively refused to
give him command of a division.
London, July 29. All civilians in Berlin
were obliged to decide last Saturday whether
they would leave or remain until farther
orders, which would not be for a fortnight at
least.
The whole country is occupied in war
preparations and moving military trains.
The Polish people are thoroughly Prussian.
Only landed proprietors and priests are hos
tile. . No outbreak is possible in Polish Prus
sia without the concurrence of the Russian
and Austrian Poles, therefore France can hope
for no assistance there.
Two thousand men are continuously
strengthening Mayence. The fortification
reclared incapable of resisting a sudden
f ttack a fortnight ago can now stand a long
fiege, and furnish a base of offensive opera
tions. The report that the Prussian King would
make Frankfort his headquarters is impro
bable. The Paris correspondent of the Daily Nem
partially contradicts the peace rumors he gave
yesterday. All hopes are postponed until
after a battle.
London, July 29. A correspondent writes
from Berlin that a volunteer naval service is
organizing to protect the coast.
Ghent is being armed, and the Belgian
army is again in motion.
London, July 29 Midnight. The French
fleet has arrived at Copenhagen. The French
cavalry 'passed the frontier at Kehl, but soon
returned. ,
PERJURY AND FORGERY.'
A Member of Conareee la a Delicate Situation.
Washington, July 29. In 1869 the Hono
rable R. R. Butler, of Tennessee, was attor
ney for proouring a pension for a lady living
at Horse Creek, N. C, near the Tennessee
line. The case went through the olfice, and
a check for the back pension, amounting to
between four and five hundred dollars, was
sent to the Pension Agent in Raleigh, N. C
He in turn sent the check to R. R. Butler.
The idence before the Pension Office shows
that the check left Raleigh on the 27th of Oc
tober, and was cashed at the banking house
of Jay Cooke & Co., in this city,
"on the 29th of October." The check bore
the endorsement of the claimant, who lived
at Horse Creek, and information given by the
Post Office Department showed that the
shortest time in which a letter could travel
from Washington to Horse Creek and retain
was seventeen days. This aroused the sus
picions of the department, and the claimant
was written to. She replied that she had not
endorsed the check mentioned nor any other
check, and the only money she had ever re
ceived from Butler was represented by some
goods from his store at very high prices.
This settled the fact that the claimant's en
dorsement was a forgery, and Butlor did not
deny that he did the endorsing. All this in
vestigation, of course, occupied six or eight
months, and one special agent was sent from
the Pension Office to investigate the case in
the neighborhood.
Butler was called on for an explanation of
his conduct. After a long delay he asserted
that he had a power of attorney from the
claimant to authorize him to endorse. He
produced a power of attorney bearing date
about September, 1869, and an affidavit pur
porting to have been made by the claimant
after she wrote her letter to the office denying
the endorsement, in which she takes back all
she said about Butler. These two documents
are written in different colored inks, but on"
the two halves of the same sheet of paper,
for the tear is a very peculiar one, and the
irregularities of one torn edge fit exactly
into the irregularities of the other torn edge.
On the same sheet of paper, but dated about
six months apart. This was too maoh for the
Pension Office to stand, and a special agent
of the Pension Office is now near Roderick
R. Butler's home, and he will be arrested ani
appear before tne urana jury to answer
the charges of perjury and forgery.
